B Teams again... 14:02 - Mar 2 with 3849 views | Thran | Apparently all the clubs from L2 besides Wimbledon have agreed to having B teams in the JPT and it's possibly a similar outcome with L1 clubs. http://thedonstrust.org/2015/02/23/february-dons-trust-board-meeting-summary/ "There was also discussion about that day’s Football League (FL) meeting which was understood to have authorised the FL executive to finalise proposals to allow Premier League ‘B’ teams to enter the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy, with AFC Wimbledon being the only League Two club to vote against. It was agreed that Kris Stewart would talk with other trusts to help us decide whether this is something for the Dons Trust to follow up." | |

B Teams again... on 17:04 - Mar 2 with 3563 views | KenBoon | They're just propping the door open. Shame on the clubs for okaying this. They're not interested in the JPT. They're interested in forming a B Team to compete in the Football League. We DON'T need B Teams here. Our greatest strength is our Football Pyramid. With so many professional and semi-professional clubs around the country the game should be accessible to everyone. Instead of B Teams for squad players (this is nothing to do with producing English players), the FA should focus on supporting clubs in setting up academies of their own. They can start by heavily subsidising UEFA Coaching and Pro Licence courses instead of pricing them out of reach for anyone not having their workplace paying for it. | | | |
B Teams again... on 17:28 - Mar 2 with 3522 views | 49thseason | What did the Premier League ever do for us? "Although only about 5% of Premier League funds eventually filter down to grass-roots level, Mr Scudamore said he was not in a position to guarantee that the 70% rise in the price of TV rights would be reflected in funding for grass-roots football." "The Premier League and FA Facilities Fund, managed by the Football Foundation, commits £34m per year to improving the nation's grassroots football facilities. This includes £12m a year each from the FA and Premier League, and £10m from the government. However, this amount is almost half the £60m per year that used to be given to fund grassroots facilities and less than 1% of the £5.6bn the Premier League receives from TV revenue alone - the biggest total of any league in the world." | | | |
